I'm still drooling just thinking about the incredible salad and pastries from this bakery! The moment I stepped inside, I knew I was in for a treat. The aroma of freshly baked goods wafted through the air, and the staff's warm smiles made me feel right at home.

The croissant? Flaky, buttery crust giving way to a sweet surprise center. The rugelach? Layers of flaky dough wrapped around a rich, creamy filling. And don't even get me started on the babka - moist, chocolatey, and utterly addictive.

What truly sets this bakery apart is the love and care that goes into every single item. You can taste the difference in every bite. Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering this hidden gem, do yourself a favor and get here ASAP.

“Crawfords - Great Neck: Lunch Goals suburban vibes ❤️

Today, my fiancé and I stopped by Crawfords for lunch—it wasn’t my first visit, but it was our first time together, and wow, what a win!

The lentil soup was super fresh, like someone just picked the lentils off the farm this morning—warm, hearty, and bursting with flavor.

But the real MVP.... The toasted avocado 🥑 - Thick, golden-crusted bread piled high with creamy, perfectly seasoned avocado, drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with fresh herbs. Crunchy, creamy, and downright dreamy—this was comfort food with style.

There are no photos 📸 for this review because, let’s be real—sometimes the best photos of food are the ones you eat. And trust me, we didn’t leave a crumb!

Even though we were just passing through, Crawfords made us feel like regulars. This place always delivers, and today’s lunch was everything we didn’t know we needed.

A must for anyone who also dreams of delicious lentil soup 😉“

“Sweet and kind people and service. Cute spot. Stopped by here to grab and go something in a rush for the kid. Went with waffles and with side of fluff and Nutella. Looked yummy I didn't have any though but the nephew loved it. I gotta come back
Here for snacks for myself next time.“

“Took two trips here on the same day to sample something for brunch and for lunch. For starters, the place is pretty big despite how the place looks from the entrance. The people working behind the counter were pretty cool, service was on point. For breakfast I had the Nutella Custard Croffle and a can of Celsius. The croffle was delightful for sure, pleasing to the taste buds though one small complaint...I don't think croffles are a good base for any sandwich because it was messy eating that, the croffle was kinda all over the place eating it.

Came back here for lunch after a few hours in the gym to order a Mocha Haze Power Smoothie and a Smoked Turkey Croffle. Croffle sandwiches here are delicious as a whole but they are very unstable and can leave a mess so as a note, ALWAYS ask for extra napkins. The smoothie was very good and filling too. I could see myself coming around here a couple more times, trying out as much of their expansive menu as I possibly could.“

“This place is straight out of a film! step inside and you’re transported. The ambiance is extraordinary, like a scene from a classic movie, with soft, cinematic background music that wraps around you like a warm hug. The staff are genuinely kind and attentive, and the host? An absolute gem—welcoming, warm, and makes you feel like a regular from day one.

What sets this place apart is how it feels ahead of its time while being steeped in history. Everywhere you look, there are stunning, authentic antiques—each piece telling a story. The attention to detail is top-notch, from the decor to the service to the perfectly crafted drinks and dishes.
I’ve never experienced a café this special. It’s not just a place to eat—it’s an experience. Can’t wait to come back.“

“I love harpoon Hanna’s. It’s a gem and now new Rochelle now has the best coffee caffe. The iced coffees are amazing. The owner kim and all her staff are so wonderful. Like being at home. It’s a beautiful atmospheric joy. New Rochelle new yummy treasure. A million stars ⭐️“

“Totally enjoyed everything about this place. Stopped in to take my little sister out for cheesecake, was nicely greeted and served. Cheesecake was amazing!! Chai tea also was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“

“AMAZINGGGG BUBBLE TEA, CREPE, ROLLED ICE CREAM & MORE!!! WILL BE BACK FOR SURE“

“In a quest to find “REAL “ whitefish salad, I followed a friend’s suggestion and tried Cafe 17A. Amazing! This past weekend I tried several other salads- Vegetable Tuna, Chicken Salad, Egg whites and spinach, Egg salad and mushrooms and of course sliced Nova and home made cream cheeses. My guests raved! Everything is fresh, and homemade with Love by Scott, the owner. Thanks Scott, - can’t wait to return- You’ve definitely nailed it“

“Went there for a coffee and a little treat with a friend. The two ladies behind the counter were very nice and helpful when asked about recommendations. I got a mini chocolate croissant and an iced dirty horchata with oat milk. It was nice to sit there and read a book while enjoying my delicious drink. They also have a little area in the corner for kids and Ilove how family friendly the place is. I saw a lot of individuals and families come through the doors and all left smiling. I will definitely come again when I’m in the area.“

“They’re food is outstanding! I would highly recommend them to all. Cakes are delicious and moist! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Best Marathon Station EVER!!!“

“Was there visiting from Ohio. Great coffee enjoyed sitting outside taking in the scenery.“

“The staff was super friendly and knowledgeable. My juice was amazing and I topped it off with a veggie patty. I will definitely be back!“

“Located in Tangram mall, this Matcha Cafe Maiko location is a great stop for a sweet treat. They have a couple kiosks where you can order at, and service is relatively quick considering how popular it can get.

They have a variety of matcha and other Asian drinks and cold desserts. Every month, they also have specialty flavors. When I went, I got their matcha and lychee parfait while my friend got their matcha soft serve. The parfait had so many different kinds of toppings and the portion was generous. Love their soft serve and I will definitely be coming back. (Their quality is also pretty consistent across locations!)“

“We visited Roast & Co Café on a sunny afternoon while waiting for my daughter to finish work, and it turned out to be such a pleasant surprise.
The moment we stepped in, we were struck by how beautifully decorated and cozy the place is. It has a warm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately makes you want to sit down, relax, and enjoy your coffee. The décor is charming and full of thoughtful details, it actually reminded us of the small Parisian brasseries in France, with its tasteful design and inviting energy.

The café offers both indoor seating and a lovely outdoor terrace. Since it was a gorgeous day, the terrace was full, so we decided to sit inside. The indoor space was lively but comfortable, filled with regulars chatting or working quietly on their laptops.
We ordered two cappuccinos, one regular and one made with unsweetened almond milk, which they had available. The coffees were prepared with care and attention to detail, and you could tell they use high-quality beans. The aroma alone was wonderful.

The barista behind the counter was friendly, cheerful, and clearly knew many of the customers by name. It gave the café a genuine neighborhood feel that’s hard to find.

We enjoyed sitting there, sipping our cappuccinos, and just soaking in the atmosphere. Even though we didn’t try the food this time, we took a look at the menu, there’s a great selection of light dishes, cookies, and pastries, and everything we saw being served looked fresh and delicious. You could tell people were enjoying their meals.
Before leaving, we had a nice chat with the owner, who was very friendly and clearly passionate about the place. It’s always nice to see a business where hospitality feels genuine and effortless.
Overall, Roast & Co Café is a delightful spot, beautifully designed, welcoming, and full of good energy.

The coffee is excellent, the service is warm, and it’s the kind of place that makes you want to come back. We’ll definitely return soon, maybe next time to try their food as well!“

“I came here one morning to get some work done and it quickly became my regular spot for the past month. They have coffee and tea drinks as well as kimbap which is a great meal or snack for any time of day. There is wifi and a restroom (for customers only). It has never been too crowded except around lunchtime, and I am always able to comfortably find a seat. Lastly, the people who work here are so nice, and sometimes make conversation or offer a small treat depending on what they have available. I am recommending this place to my family when they come to visit, as it has definitely become my new fave!“

“They have a variety of different foods to select from. The food was good put I was expecting it to be a little better quality and have more flavor, especially their Penne alla vodka. The salads were good and seemed fresh. This place is like a buffet with many options so do not get overwhelmed! I walked around and viewed all the options before I started creating my plate. I went during lunch time on a Thursday and it was busy. My photos are attached that show my experience and what I ordered. Thank you for your service!“

“Great food my kids love going there. It’s really awesome and I support our local community too. Eat local, especially here.“

“Healthy foods and a relaxing atmosphere. Nice people too!“

“One of my favorite coffee spots and I live in Nassau County but it’s worth the trip every single time! I finally tried their Nutella latte and it is worth the hype. I look forward to keep coming here and highly recommend to friends and family.“

“Fabulous healthy food. Kind staff. Definitely a favorite 👍🏻“

“The Polo Lounge is such a great place! We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary and another couple was celebrating their 50th anniversary! The food was delicious! The portions are appropriate so you're not totally full before your main course even comes. The atmosphere is a fun. There's a lounge singer and couples dancing. It was lovely to watch and we were sitting in our booth. There was a wedding going on, but it did not bother the restaurant at all. We will be back every year for our anniversary after bring married at Westbury Manor. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere will keep us coming back!“

“What an incredible place! I was in a pinch as I was planning on visiting my family for a few weeks in New York. My dates kept changing and the team went above and beyond to accommodate me and my evolving schedule. My daughter LOVED going to the camp. She came home with so many stories, they made food, craft and had fun! What a gem. We will be coming back when travel again to garden city“

“This is place is absolutely adorable and quaint! The owners are such beautiful people and sooooo creative. The food is healthy and the entire vibe feels welcoming and homey. I love love love coming here!!!! Very kid friendly! You can tell they really care about their business because of all of the attention to detail within their market! <3 We even have our mompreneur meetings here!!“

“First time trying out , after seeing such great reviews and delicious pictures of the food, I was excited . I played it safe and got a BEC with avocado & it was sooo good! There was love in that sandwich and I tasted it . Super sweet and welcoming ladies , I can’t wait to go back and try something new“

“A cozy cafe, with stool chairs by the window, and an outside seating area is available. Menu selections pastries, wraps, salads and of course coffee, plus much more. Friendly and quick service. The entrance to the cafe has a small ramp to enter, making it accessible for the handicap. Roomy enough to pull up to the table, with a wheelchair.“

“It was the first time having lunch at NM and it didn't disappoint . The bread and chicken broth was delicious that they served before our lunch came out. They were kind enough to split our Caesar salad and cheeseburger . Very nice presentation and the burger was cooked med rare to perfection . I would definitely come back and our waiter was great Ty“

“Food is a bit pricey, however, the quality is totally worth it. The churrasco sandwich with those extra sauces they pack in every meal are AMAZING. On Sunday’s they include little extra breads with every order, which are freshly made and super delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough. Go try the empanadas as well! This place is very authentically Chilean.“

“The guy was the sweetest most caring person, he made sure to decorate my ice cream and put it in the freezer while prepping my other order of chocolate bread. It felt very nice going to a place that puts effort and care into the food and its customers. Most definitely will be coming back with friends and family’s price is super fair as well!“

“Love this place excellent ice cream and macaroons“

“The Bean House is the best of the best, a nice quiet clean little place that serves the best cappuccino on the planet. Every slip brings back pleasant memories of Paris.“

“I have been frequenting the Kookaburra Malverne location on and off for several years. The only downside is they close a bit early for my schedule and they only take cash. Other than that, this location is full of phenomenal humans. The customer service is unparalleled. Every single time that I can remember there that’s been a superb interaction with the baristas and the clientele. Today one is the baristas wishes a client Happy Birthday anniversary wishes and the client was so moved. Heck, I was moved. A couple of months ago I was here and heard a client place an order and received the order and said it wasn’t what she ordered. In many cases folks would get annoyed as they made what the client requested, but the barista was so kind and professional, but mostly so kind and understanding and she remade the clients order and offered the “mistaken” beverage for the client to take at no charge. It was such a great moment to witness. The energy in here is quite welcoming and positive. Our furry babies are welcome and everyone is treated with respect and kindness.

When our PTSA requested a donation for our Supermarket Bingo they didn’t hesitate for a second. 🙏🏽

I highly recommend the Malverne Kookaburra Coffee Company.“

“Would highly recommend this place! Everything from the carefully curated menu and the unique products on the shelf, to the interior design and color palette giving relaxed yet elevated vibes, to even the fragrant hand sanitizer were exceptionally amazing. The staff was very sweet and helpful. And the food was delicious, while the portion size was plentiful.“

“I’ve passed by this cafe a few times, but today I decided to check it out. I had the Korean Street Toast and Iced Peach Green Tea - both delicious. Would definitely recommend getting. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Price was also great. I’ll definitely be coming back here.“

“Most amazing and delicious healthy foods & drinks 🙌🏻so many places to sit outside especially on an amazing day“

“You can taste freshly baked walnut cookies at Cocohodo, and they are so delicious!! The atmosphere is cozy and cute, and the coffee is delicious!!“

“I had such an amazing experience with 3 Little Pigs! I placed an Uber Eats order and one of the items I wanted was sold out. Instead of just canceling it, they actually gave me a call to explain the situation and help me adjust my order. On top of that, they went above and beyond by including a free pastry and even a free drink card as an apology for the inconvenience. I was honestly blown away by their kindness and thoughtfulness—it completely turned what could have been a small disappointment into such a positive experience. Their customer service is top-notch, and I’ll definitely be ordering from them again. Highly recommend!“

“Run don't walk to Sobol Bay Terrace! Something for everybody in hot or cold weather. Delicious variety of healthy acai bowls and smoothies. Also waffles, egg bites and other warm treats. Staff so friendly and make adjustments to ingredients based on allergies/tastes. Very reasonable and a meal in itself. Great seating in and out.“

“Nice Cafe. Great spot for delicious food with excellent service ..The prices are very reasonable and the portion size are just right. They make the best grits which I rarely order out.“

“the place is very spacious itself with lots of seating and at night it starts to get crowded so be aware of needing to wait a while. other than that the food and drinks are really good, the jasmine love a lot bear and it is, i the pancake is a must get!!“

“We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Food and service were delightful. I had the arugula salad and the cod on a bed of Brussel sprouts and cauliflower. My husband had the spiced apple salad - too spicy for me but he loved it -and the spare ribs. Very good selection of wines by the glass. Lots of Gluten Free appetizers and Entrees and delicious ice cream and sorbet.“

“good food options in a nice place“
